This woman knocks on the door of a fancy house. She was pregnant, a few days away from the big day.

        The house owner opened the door showing great serenity in her eyes due to the days she already lived and the suffered pain.

        Ma’am, said the pregnant woman, would you keep my baby?

        And before the lady could recover from such an unexpected offer, she said: I do not want it. There is no room for it in my life. I did not mean to get pregnant and I cannot feed another mouth.

        My belly weighs and I wish to get rid of the load. If you do not want it, I do not know what to do. I have offered it to over a dozen people. Nobody wants it..

        The kind lady invited the woman in and had her sit. She offered her a delicious cup of coffee.

        Upon the lady’s request, the woman narrated her story full of misleads, since young age. To make a long story short, she saw nothing but a heavy burden in her baby, another problem for her to deal with.

        The kind lady told her about the blessings of maternity and reincarnation. Maternity is one of the noblest missions granted to human beings.

        Our Father and Creator trust one of His Universe stars to somebody else.

        Through reincarnation laws, the immortal Spirit is able to recover from mistakes, to grow and to evolve.

        The kind lady told her how the Spirit notices, feels and suffers anything while stuck to a forming body.

        It requires an opportunity, time and attention. It needs love, to listen to the voice of the one who carries it within, and it waits for the loving hand to caress its fragile skin.

        It expects so much and so little.

        The kind lady told her about the hard-to-sleep nights, and the graceful smiles. She told her about the fever cries and the first words bubbling.

        She also told her about the kicks while still in the belly, trying to accommodate itself, and about the first steps.

        It has so much to give.

        Why trusting something God offer us to someone else?

        Slowly, the motherly feelings started to grow from the pregnant woman. And in a rather mechanical move she rubbed her belly and felt the baby moves.

        What was it trying to say? Do not let me go, take care of me. Hold me in your arms. I am coming to learn the love alphabet with you.

        Don’t give me away to anybody. I need your love and yours only.

        By dusk, the woman returned home with her eyes full of hope.

        The kind lady had helped her and she would have her baby and lead it throughout the world.

        They would share hard times working together. They would allow regeneration opportunities to multiply so that pain could be reduced.

        And if the amount of trouble seemed to reduce the strength, they would always be able to count on each other’s love.

        Children do not happen by chance. They are God’s children on an evolution journey, sticking by your side today, under the direction of your experience.

        When a child makes a home brighter, it brings along unmatched values for its own evolution.
